So, I pulled the bumper off of my 541 so I could give it a better cleaning. The only problem I have now is that I'm not sure how to go about putting it back on.

Does anyone know the technical term of the "fasteners" used to hold it on, where I can buy them, or how I should go about putting them back on? I had a pretty difficult time getting the original ones off, so they may be too far gone...

I don't know the type of fastener used on Hoovers. My Cadillac uses split rivets, also known as 'cymbal sizzlers.' They come in many sizes and can be found on ebay. If you can't find the exact size, look on mcmaster.com.

I'll bet that's the fastener you need.

Just looked those up, and that's exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks for the help!
